In a bid to carry forward the enthusiasm associated with the recently concluded Olympic Games, Jammu and Kashmir Youth Development Forum (JKYDF) – a major youth organization of the region in association with Jammu and Kashmir Football Association is organising a mega inter-district football tournament in Srinagar.
The month-long tournament was inaugurated by Farooq Ganderbali, the founder of JKYDF.
The sporting event has 32 participating teams with players aged above 18 years.
In his inaugural address, Ganderbali stressed the need for such events to bring youth to the path of constructive nation-building.
He said he was happy to see the enthusiasm of the youth who had turned up in large numbers to participate in the match. The crowds chanted out loudly the names of the teams for whom they were rooting for.
The inaugural match was a colourful show with participating teams conducting a march-past.
